About Vegetarian World Guides
The series is based upon a simple notion: Vegetarians love food.
When people change the way they eat, for medical, ethical, or environmental
reasons, they don't suddenly lose their sense of taste. In addition
to loving food, vegetarians know food. They've been forced to experiment
with "exotic" cuisines, and to make the kind of fabulous food at
home that they'd like to find in restaurants. What most vegetarians
don't know is that world-class veggie fare can be had in almost
every popular tourist destination--if they know where to look.
In response to this need, series originators Susan Shumaker and
Than Saffel have created a new genre in the travel industry, not
just for vegetarians, but for everyone who's tried--and failed--to
watch what they eat on vacation. Each Vegetarian World Guide provides
insider advice and information about restaurants, lodgings, and
markets for every taste and budget--from fast fooderies to the temples
of haute cuisine, from youth hostels to luxurious resorts. And it's
all delivered with an obsessive attention to detail and a healthy
dose of humor.
Educated, diet-savvy travelers across the US, in Canada, and in
the UK can expect the best, most up-to-date, and most complete information,
including:
- Candid, in-depth reviews researched and written on site, often
by local experts o Maps, indexes, and "At-a-Glance" comparison
grids for fast and easy access to information

with equal attention paid to vegetarian and vegan diets
